Personal Knowledge Base (PKB) Reflection - Due Wednesday - 12/6
Technology has transformed all aspects of our lives, including what it means to be informed, knowledgeable, and creative. A Personal Knowledge Base (PKB) using the “cloud” application Evernote can be used to accumulate resources related to American Public Education, school reforms and other topics of your choosing. Your PKB is an online repository for articles, notes, references, and reflections, and is meant to extend your intelligence and creativity. Since everyone thinks in his or her own way, our PKBs should also be different. The purpose of this assignment is to have you reflect on your use of some of the tools and strategies we used in this course.
Reflect on how you created and used your PKB for this course in a series of paragraphs. Your PKB reflection should answer at least 3 of the following:
How did you use Evernote and the Evernote Web Clipper to support your work in this course?
What other uses for your PKB did you develop as you got more comfortable with Evernote?
Describe your PKB's organizational scheme. How many notebooks have your created? What (if any) tags are your using? What uses (if any) have you discovered for note links?
Describe at least one metacognitive protocol that YOU develop to augment your current thinking. This could be a study strategy that you have adapted, a way to organize your research, or so other way of organizing your new knowledge for writing, planning, etc. The also be strategy that you think would be useful for you (or others) for some future purpose.
How do you think that viewing your notes as a lasting resource might affect how you participate in future courses.
At various times during the course, you may be asked to share your PKB thinking, current notebook organization and protocol development progress. By sharing these ideas, we can all explore how the idea of a PKB might augment our capabilities. Before the course ends, describe your PKB practices on a page linked below.
Note: Remember to cite any web pages, blogs, etc, that you use as a basis or inspiration for your strategies. Some strategies can be found at evernoteAtURI.wikispaces.com.
